Proper RI pub. 69 draught brews available and a great menu backed-up with a solid staff of professionals. Superb representation of beers, mainly local (new england), respectable regional, and a fairly nice international offering. I make it a priority with each visit to little Rhody. Good whiskey selection as well. Prost!

Arrived in Wakefield thirsty. Rambling place with a lot of beers on tap. Amusing and interesting bar area with various dining booths and tables. Dollar bills all over the tap room with a real dead tree left in the main dining area.? Plenty of brews on tap with regional, locals, a decent selection. Food was good and service was great. This must be a hopping place in summer so glad we came in the off season. Worth a visit. Liked the beauty in the eye of the beer holder shirt.. nice!

I was excited to come to Mews Tavern & Celtic Bar, as it was only about 3.5 miles from the house we rented. The place is easy to find on Main street. The narrow drive way opens to a spacious parking lot. The place is a browns wood tile old stables. The bar on the second floor is slanted so they could wash out the horse manure. Probably not some thing they advertize as one of the loacl Fisherman mentioned it to me. My father-in-law and I were one of the first people there at 12:00. We sat in the down stairs bar. The upstairs is a Celtic Bar. 69 Taps and not much I have never had. I started with the Brooklyn Sorachi Ace Saison. It seems all Beers are served in American Pint glasses. The food was average bar fare. The staff was friendly and courteous (especially after I had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on my father-in-law, no lie). I tried a sampler rack of 4, which turn out are 7 oz glasses. The Skinny glasses that winden towards the top that old guys drink Schlitz out of. The 7 oz. pour seemed like a great idea but I hate the glass and rack. The New England beers I tried were average at best except for the Peak Organic IPA. This like some other pseudo beer bars where the bar manager who picks these is over influenced by the beer reps instead of his or her own passion for the beer. Still a descent place that I would go to again.

This came across as an average, dark, dank, cold, sports bar. They serve all their beers in iced shaker pints that taste like the freezer! Gross. Too many TVs. Unfortunately, this is another example of a sports bar brutalizing craft beer. The bartender was nice, but I’m cold, so I have to leave.

The Mews is an institution. Just a fun, fun place. When you come here, make a night of it. It’s huge, with a restaurant, a bar, and a martini bar upstairs. 69 beers on tap, a lot of it local, but they have stuff from Dogfish Head, Grimbergen, Stone, and Rogue, and they change their taps often. You can get a reasonaly priced sampler of four 7 oz. beers.

I only work 15 minutes down the road from this place, so I decided to check it out yesterday. Pretty cool place if I do say so. It was pretty packed when I got there (3 pm on Sunday night). The tavern is pretty nice, with a seprate dining room, and a wine and martini bar in the upstairs. The service was good, and the bartender seemed to know some about the brews they served. The beer selection was pretty impressive (69 drafts) for a small tavern. They recently got Arrogant Bastard and some Dogfish Head seasonals. The food was great. I had a pizza from their brick oven. Overall a pretty cool place to drink a few beers.

best place i have found in ri. by far. the inside is pretty cool with a real tree that has been cut to fit exactly floor to ceiling. the service was good but not great but the food more than made up for it. great menu with a wide selection and can we say beer? 69 taps a few were fillers but for the most part pretty good stuff. had a sampler for 9$ with four 7oz. samples, not too bad.

Best bar in an area overrun with crappy budweiser-pushing college bars. Nice selection of brews, lots of local New England stuff, and excellent food for a pub (pizza, burgers, and onion rings are all fantastic). Well worth a visit but can get crowded on the weekends or in the summer.

Best beer selection in RI. Great old colonial building with a confusing, but enjoyable setup, bars at all ends of the place. Parking is OK except on the weekends, where you may have to improvise (and deal with annoying college kids). The food is exceptional for a pub, I love their burgers and sandwiches. Service adequate, though most of the waittresses are college students from URI, so don’t expect many beer recommendations. Great whiskey and martini menu’s also. Thumbs up.

A fun place with lots of taps and ambiance. Most of the beers on draught were the typical larger micros, but they also had some locals and regionals that were interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. Definietly one of the more interesting places in this part of the state.
